| + | //Fighters who emulate the legends of the Blade Breaker strive to be the embodiment of change. Their blade and warrior’s spirit are tools through which they project their will upon the world in the form of martial magic. Many who follow the Saga of the Blade Breaker are stubborn, and would sooner force reality itself to bend before their desires than change their ways. Some are idealists, who have a vision for a better world and would do anything to achieve it. Others are tyrants, and see the world as putty to be molded, and all its inhabitants as mere hindrances to their ultimate glory.// | ||

| + | //The inhospitable north is teeming with alpha predators, huge creatures that don’t need vegetation to survive: their prey are the smaller creatures that prowl the tundra. And you are one of those smaller creatures. Specialized hunters make stalking and killing these dangerous creatures their prey, training themselves in surviving in harsh conditions, dealing with hostile terrain, and tracking the large beasts to strike at the most opportune moments. These hunters can feed their clanmates for weeks on the meat of these creatures. Their parts are often used in crafting the tools of survival. Some practitioners of magic might even barter valuable resources for pieces of the beast. Regardless, the beasts are valuable when dead and a threat when alive.// | ||
